Verizon FiOS → [Northeast] My FIOS install

So I am in 11208 in Brooklyn, and due to a boo boo by Verizons website I was able to get the 150/65 Mbps, Ultimate HD and Digital Voice for $129.99 a month with a $500 gift card!!!

Today was my install day. I live in an apartment a 102 yea old building. 2 Floor walk-up. 1 Bed. Livingroom isn't that big but ok for me.

Installer called me at 8:25 said she would be here in 25 minutes. 2 minutes later she called back saying she had an emergency service call and would be here in 2 hours.

9:35 she showed up with another tech.

From 9:40 or so to 11:55 they worked on the outside of my apartment, installing the ONT and running the loop. The guy tech and female tech briefly argued who should climb the latter. They decided with the guy tech since he weighed less. It was fun watching the ladder wobble.

At 11:56 they came up stairs told me they were going to lunch and would be back at 1.

12:50 they were back, 12:59 they got out the truck. Yes I timed them I was anxious to get my internet and tv and phone!!! You would of timed them too!!!

For another hour or so they worked outside installing the ONT. They couldn't fit the cable into it and ended up opening another one and the cable seemed to fit easier.

2:15 they headed up into my apartment and decided to go the 2 piece route, as my outlet was far from where the cables entered the apt.

3:05, they finished the installation of the battery pack (2 piece).

When they tried to activate the internet it wouldn't activate. Turns out since I was on the 150/65 plan they needed to run another cable (cat 5e) into the apartment directly to the modem. Which they did and BAM after optimizing my PC I was downloading 98Mbps down. I won't do the full 150 on this notebook as it doesn't support it but my desktop does. (still moving stuff).

They finished running that line around 5:15. They actually had to wait for a 2nd tuck to be rolled out to do that, as I don't think they had the cable. They had to actually take the battery pack off the wall to run the cable again.

They then started to activate my Setop boxes, but neither would activate. She switched them out and they activated fast.

I actually had fun with them, the Verizon installers were friendly and they tried to make the entire process painless, although I think my landlord was annoyed.

They were happy I don't have furniture in the living room yet.

I attached pics of the modem. It's the black and red.

@Vathral I offered them food and drinks and they wouldn't take them, made me wonder if they aren't allowed too.
